    Vegan mushroom soup is just delicious. All you need for a cold winter night. Dairy free soups are perfect when you want to eat light and eat right. You can add some barley to it or add some wild rice and have a complete meal. I love to have some carbs along with soups generally. Hence, adding some cooked rice or barley makes me happy.

    I love having soups in winters. Melbourne weather is mostly cold and rainy as autumn sets in. This recipe is perfect for it. It is light and full of umami. You can also make it creamy as a variation by adding coconut milk if you like creamy soups instead of stock based ones.

    If you do not have access to barley or wild rice you can use any other cooked rice like jasmine, brown rice or black rice. This way you can use any other rice variety too which you may not use in daily meal prep. Thus, you get other nutrients too. Bonus, good for weight-loss! Win-Win!

    What are your favorite mushroom dishes?

    Mushrooms are quite versatile and easily available too nowadays. You can use them as pizza toppings or in your pie. Add it to your vegan spinach pasta or make a vegan kofta if you are in mood for meatballs or curry night. You may even add them to mixed veg curries like veg jalfrezi or classic air fryer vegetables if you do not like too much of it in one go. They cook really fast in an air fryer too. Air fryer mushrooms are great with some avocado toast.

    If you crave a burger, and do not have a time to make a traditional patty. Portobello mushroom burger is just what you need for a healthy start. As a variation even the blackbean mushroom burger will steal your heart away. I love having button mushroom in my air fryer whenever I can. They cook fast and are perfect with some bread & soup.

    Best part of mushrooms, you can slice them or cook them whole. Quite easy to make. Bonus, they are a great plant based source of vitamin D and B complex.
